Which version of symfony for your next project?

With three major symfony versions, newcomers have sometimes a hard time figuring out which version to use for their next project.
To help them choose the right version, I have just updated the symfony project website with a brand new installation page. I also hope IT managers will love the great matrix I have made for them:
The upgrade instructions have also been put online with links available from the main installation page and from each symfony version installation page:
- Instructions to upgrade to symfony 1.1
- Instructions to upgrade to symfony 1.2
If you are curious and want to know what has already changed in the upcoming symfony 1.2 version, you can read the upgrade page for symfony 1.2. This page is updated in real time whenever a new feature is added to this version.
Help the Symfony project!
As with any Open-Source project, contributing code or documentation is the most common way to help, but we also have a wide range of sponsoring opportunities.

To ensure that comments stay relevant, they are closed for old posts.
If the reader doesn't know about those, it is pretty confusing why support for a newer version is planned to end sooner than for an old release.
@fabien: thanks.
@Yoyo: bear in mind that the upgrade from 1.1->1.2 will be easier than 1.0->1.1, as most of the big refactoring is already taken care of. If you are starting a new project, as the page says, you should consider 1.1 first.
Thanks!
I have not upgraded my projects from 1.0 to 1.1 because the plugins I use haven't been upgraded to 1.1.
So, a link to the plugins section, separated by version, would be useful.
Thanks to Fabien for making this even clearer now.
